Mona, who was watching the whole process from the side, raised her forehead speechlessly, paused the surveillance video on the computer, then opened the door and got out of the car.
"Luo An, I think you can chat with a psychiatrist when you have time in the future."
The two crossed the road and walked straight to the small community. Mona walked up to Luo An and whispered:
"If you are worried that seeing a psychologist within the FBI will make your superiors worry about your mental state and affect your future, I can introduce you to an absolutely trustworthy psychologist.
She's a nice person, very professional...I kid you not, she really helped me a lot when I was little. "
Luo An felt very happy when he heard Mona give examples from her childhood to show that she had not lied to him.
At least it shows that Mona is really good for him and really wants to help him.
but……
"Mona, I really don't have any psychological problems."
Luo An shook his head speechlessly:
"I'm just a little worried about the lack of firepower. I pay attention to details. I want to defeat the enemy as soon as possible, so that myself and my teammates are not injured by the enemy. It's best to nip the danger in the bud. Can these be considered psychological problems?"
When Mona heard this, her mouth twitched slightly:
"This...doesn't it count?"
Aren't these signs of insecurity?
"Of course not!"
Luo An waved his hand, which is called caring about one's own life and taking responsibility for one's own life safety.
Before Mona could continue to speak, Luo An had already taken her to the "Self-Management Community Association" in the community.
The United States is a free country, and the different rules brought about by the gap between rich and poor are vividly reflected in various areas of daily life.
It's like a community security issue.
In wealthy areas, there are security guards and police patrolling on time.
In upscale communities, there is less security and fewer police patrols, but at least there are still some.
Most ordinary communities have no security, and the police only occasionally pass by when patrolling.
Residents living in this kind of community usually get together and form a "self-management association" to help each other.
As for the remaining garbage communities... I can only say that the United States is a free country, where people live and die freely.
"Hello, my name is Martin and her name is Catherine."
After a brief inquiry, Luo An found the rotation person of this community self-management association.
An old white man who must not be younger than 50 years old.
After briefly introducing his and Mona's names, Luo An showed a sunny smile to the old white man:
“I heard there is a house for rent in this community, can you take us to see it?”
"Rent? Which one?"
After hearing Luo An's words, the old white man Eric looked up and asked without thinking much.
Sometimes, community self-management associations also assume some intermediary responsibilities. When the landlord travels away for business, they help the landlord receive the tenants and collect some hard work fees afterwards.
But there is also a premise, that is, the association can only receive guests and cannot directly sign contracts with tenants. The contract must be signed by the landlord and the tenant.
Unless the landlord allows it and gives rights to someone in the association.
Luo An told the room number that Horki rented some time ago. The old white man Eric looked through the thick notebook and nodded after a long time:
"That's right, this room hasn't been rented out yet. I can take you to see it now."
"Thanks."
Seeing the friendly smile on Luo An's face, Eric felt very good.
While chatting up the stairs, Luo An used some words that made Eric almost laugh from ear to ear.
So when Luo An entered the room and carefully observed the specific situation in the room, Eric, who was waiting at the door, thought for a long time, and finally walked to Luo An and said seriously:
"How about this, kids, how about renting another room? This room may not be suitable for you."
Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of Luo An and Mona, Eric remained silent for a while and waved to Luo An to lower his head.
"The last tenant of this room was a gay man and I've seen him come back here with other men."
Luo An, who knew that the previous resident of this room was Horki, suddenly fell silent after hearing Eric's words.
The next second, Luo An suddenly remembered something, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he asked in a low voice:
"Eric, are there any bars in this neighborhood that people like them would go to?"
"There is indeed one, not too far from here."
Eric nodded. Seeing the change in the expression on Luo An's face, he thought he was shocked by his words. Just as he was about to say something more, Luo An reached out and shook his hand:
"Thank you, Eric, thank you so much for the message."
"You're welcome."
Eric shook his head and was about to continue saying something. After Luo An expressed his gratitude several times again, he took Mona's hand and ran away quickly.
"Luo An, what happened?"
Mona looked confused and didn't understand why Luo An was so anxious:
"Aren't you going to check out the warehouse that Horkey rented?"
"No need, I just found out that this room that Horji rented was cleaned extremely carefully. Not even a hair was left. It's obvious that Isaac and Horji handled the scene carefully. .”
Luo An shook his head. In this case, the warehouse rented by Horji would most likely have been carefully cleaned by the two of them.
"All right."
After hearing this, Mona nodded in silence for a few seconds, and then asked:
"Then where do we go next?"
The two of them had already run back into the SUV.
"What Eric said just now inspired me and reminded me of issues that have been ignored by all of us before."
Seeing the questioning look on Mona's face, Luo An said in a solemn tone:
"We used to think that the person who visited the bank before the incident was most likely a female, but why couldn't it be a male?"
"Ji Nan?"
Upon hearing this unique word, Mona was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slapped her head:
"That's right! Eric just said that Horji is a gay man!"
After reacting, Mona immediately turned her gaze to the computer, danced her fingers on the keyboard, and began to investigate the men who appeared in the surveillance videos before the four previous robberies.
Luo An did not sit aside and wait, but stepped on the accelerator of the SUV and drove towards the bar Eric just mentioned.
The bar is not too far from the community, only a few blocks away. After arriving, Luo An and Mona got off the car and opened the door to go in.
"Excuse me, ma'am."
As soon as the door was pushed halfway, a sturdy black security guard came out and stretched out his hand to stop Mona:
"This may not be a suitable place for women to enter."
When Mona saw this, she took out the FBI's golden badge without any nonsense and said coldly:
"FBI."
"..."
The black security guard was stunned for a moment, then silently moved out of the way.
"Don't stand still."
Luo An patted the black man's arm and grinned:
"Take us to your boss."
The black security guard originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Luo An also taking out his golden badge, he smacked his lips, turned around, opened the door to the back room, and led the two of them to the manager's office behind the bar.
Following the black security guard, Mona looked around expressionlessly and found that the gay bar seemed nothing special, and the decoration was similar to that of an ordinary bar.
Just when he was about to say something to Luo An, he suddenly noticed that Luo An grinned, left him, and walked towards the bar.
"Hello."
Luo An walked up to a white man with short hair, said hello and smiled:
"You look familiar to me."
"come on."
Hearing Luo An's words, Chad rolled his eyes:
"Your pick-up words are too cliché."
"No, I'm not chatting with you again, I'm narrating something."
Luo An shook his head. After Mona saw Chad's face clearly, her pupils tightened and she silently walked to the bar.
Before Chad could wonder why a woman was here, Luo An took out the FBI's golden badge, grinned and said:
"Did you go to a bank to handle business last month?"
Seeing Luo An's actions and hearing Luo An's words, Chad's body instantly stiffened, and sweat appeared on his forehead in an instant.
The next second, Chad pushed the wine glass on the bar towards Luo An, turned around and ran away.
The moment the wine glass was thrown by Chad, Luo An avoided it to the left, took advantage of the situation, raised his right foot, and kicked Chad's back hard.
Bang!
The next second, under the astonished gazes of everyone in the bar, Chad flew out, smashed several tables, and then hit the ground of the bar heavily.
"hiss--"
"W T F?!"
"Gift crab!"
Looking at Chad, who was lying on the ground, twitching his legs, and then stopped moving, there was a sudden gasp of air in the bar, and everyone looked at Luo An as if they had seen a ghost.
Mona also looked at Luo An with surprise.
When did he become so strong?
After the reaction came back, several men looked at Luo An and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Luo An: "..."
——
Three hours later, the No. 5 investigation team office area.
"Chad has recruited him and promised to testify in court. Now we have a witness."
Under everyone's surprised eyes, Luo An and Mona walked out of the interrogation room with smiles and distributed Chad's confession to everyone:
"Chad admitted that he helped Horkey go to the bank to conduct inspections, but he said that he only went once, and the other three cases had nothing to do with him.
So next, we need to find the other people who helped Horki go to the bank three times, and arrest Horki and Isaac. "
"Well done!"
Augustus briefly read through the interrogation records, patted Luo An on the shoulder, and laughed:
"It's a trivial matter to find the other checkpoint personnel later!"
After saying that, before Roan could react, Augustus turned his attention to Lacey and Ryder and said in a serious tone:
"You two, take our FBI plane to California tomorrow, contact the local SWAT, and be sure to capture Isaac and Horki!"
"Okay, sir!"
After simply distributing some tasks, Augustus waved his hand:
"I will do what I promised you!
After handling this case, everyone’s bonus will be doubled next week!
At the same time, I will ask my superiors to apply for a day off for you! "
Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone in Investigation Team No. 5 suddenly lit up.
"Roan, Veranith is looking for you."
